Two Americas

 

Good versus Evil

(6-minute read)

“Getting them out will be a bloody story.  Should never have been allowed to come into our country.”

The rapist racist felon Trump

~

You’re a fascist! 

You’re a Marxist!

You’re a communist!

You’re a patriot!

You’re not a patriot!

I don’t like the direction the country is heading!

~

Who makes the better argument?

I’m not trying to change hearts and minds here.  I’m just presenting my view of what is taking place in America.  This election really isn’t about Trump.  He’s a horrible human being that in normal times never would have remained on the ballot.  This election is about America’s divide. 

It isn’t pretty.  Keith

Themes

            Back in 1967 Dr. King talked about the other America.[1] 

            There’s more than enough hyperbole to go around these days.  The nation has been divided before.  The war in Viet Nam.  The Nixon years.  Just a couple of examples.  I’ve lived through these times.  I don’t remember the nation ever being divided in the way that we are today.  It’s the North versus the South again only this time the lines aren’t geographic.  There are two Americas now.[2] 

Pick your theme.

On the one hand.

            Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov Tim Walz have a positive view of America and what can be accomplished for the good of the nation.  They aren’t motivated by a desire for revenge, dividing the nation or staying out of jail.  Instead they talk about economic opportunities for average Americans.  They have and are presenting plans and policies.  

Remember back in 2020 when Trump predicted that the stock market would crash if Biden got elected?[3]  It didn’t.  It soared and is still breaking records under the Biden Administration. 

            Kamala said it best when she invited people to go to Trump rallies.[4]  (People can do that online.)  The differences in messaging are stark![5] 

They call Trump a danger to democracy and he proves them right as he continually divides the nation along racial lines in the sand with false information.  However Vice President Kamala Harris keeps her messaging about America and Americans positive and expresses her joy when she can.  She still sees America as a land of opportunity and offers plans of support to let people pursue and accomplish their American dream with the support of the government. 

And while I’m at it, there isn’t dirt on Harris and Walz like there is on Trump and Vance.  Well, there is made up stuff, because that’s all MAGA has.  Like Harris’s “inability” to prove that she worked at McDonald’s decades ago.  Other than that there is no dirt.  Harris and Walz are good decent people. 

On the other hand. 

There is Trump, Vance and MAGA.

There will be blood.

The racist rapist felon Trump and Sen JD Vance have a dystopian view of America as being some sort of crime ridden 3rd world nation Hellscape where no one is safe. 

Trump and Vance are both deeply flawed human beings.  In the past, Vance referred to Trump as being “America’s Hitler.”[6]  Then Vance’s billionaire patron decided that Vance would make a good Vice President and Vance transformed and switched his positions for power.[7]  

            The rapist Trump said that when he starts rounding up brown people to deport them it will be a bloody story.[8]  Trump went on to say, “Not going to be easy but we’ll do it.”  Let me see, where have we seen something like that before?  Did you guess Germany?  Nazi fascists talked like that regarding rounding up Jews. Then they did it.  BTW the neo-Nazis supporting Trump don’t like Jews either.  Remember Charlottesville?  Trump’s already saying that if he loses it’s the fault of Jews.[9] 

            Trump threatens anyone that opposes him.  It’s all or nothing with Trump and MAGA.  He wants his critics thrown in jail (if not dead).  MAGA says that opposition should be thrown in jail.  The rapist Trump is facing jail because he engaged in criminal acts before, during and after his reign as President.  He’s a career criminal that finally tripped up and got caught.  But his MAGA Supremes are helping him as best they can. 

            Trump already tried to overthrow our government once in 2020 and on into 2021 when he staged a coup on January 6th.  He tried fake electors.  He tried to stop the vote from being certified.  He encouraged an insurrection to takeover congress.  Does that indicate that Trump’s trying to save democracy and our Republic?  Is that what trying to overturn the vote of the people means?  

            No, no it does not.  It means that MAGA’s fascist coup attempt failed. 

None of these threatened actions are democracy in action.  They are the evil of fascism, racism and homophobia.  Trump wants to repeat that in the United States starting with rounding up Hispanic and Haitian immigrants along with innocents because all people of color look alike and putting them in camps.  The color of people’s skin will make them suspect and their immigration status, whether legal or not, will not matter.  This is when it will get bloody, but don’t worry.

Trump will sort them out.

Where we’re at.

            Unable to come up with his own policies, Trump sided with the Christian Nationalists of the Heritage Foundation and they came up with policies for him.  Project 2025 is the game plan that Trump will use to dismantle our democracy and replace it with him.  Trump.  The first American dictator. 

            Racists support Trump because the MAGA agenda is compatible with their values and beliefs.  It’s that simple.

            Trump proved to be incapable of accomplishing his agenda when he was President.  He still campaigns on building the wall and drilling for oil.  More oil is being drilled for now than when he was in office.  In spite of controlling both houses of Congress Trump was unable to get his wall built and what did get built the Mexican government didn’t pay for.  Then Trump ordered his MAGA Republicans to kill the bipartisan immigration bill that they negotiated so that he could campaign on the issue.  In 9 years Trump has been unable to come up with a better health care plan than the Affordable Care Act. 

The Trump Administration was a failed Administration.  The worst in our entire history and probably the world.  In the end he was responsible for too many Americans getting killed in the pandemic and lost his bid for reelection. 

MAGA keeps asking were you better off four years ago.  Do they not remember the state of the nation four years ago?  That’s what Trump the magnificent-let-them-inject-bleach-and-take-horse-pills left for President Biden.  A crashed economy and a former President that refused to admit that he lost.[10] 

The Department of Education is on the chopping block.  Can you imagine the chaos that one action alone will create across the nation?  The goal is to eradicate public education and replace it with Christian Nationalist madrassas.  And that is just one element of the plan.  MAGA has dozens of actions like that planned with Project 2025.  Here’s what a second Trump Administration will bring to the nation and the world.

Chaos.
